solarized dark for vim and incorrect background color with xterm terminal emulator, black instead of darkblue

Question

Following is my configuration for solarized colorscheme.

let g:solarized_termcolors=256 set t_Co=256 set background=dark colorscheme solarized

But the background color is not dark blue, but dark or grey, similar like that.

I have tried remove let g:solarized_termcolors=256, remove set t_Co=256, add let g:solarized_termcolors=16 or add set t_Co=16. But still display the wrong background color.

How can I do any config to change that incorrect background color to darkblue ?

Which terminal? And did you tried this: ethanschoonover.com/solarized/vim-colors-solarized Again, I recommend just changing your terminal colors to Solarized values either manually or via one of the many terminal schemes available for import. – Endoenzyme

Agreed with @AlexKroll. Check if there is support for your terminal here github.com/altercation/solarized#terminal-emulators and you need to make sure your terminal is in 256 colors mode – Arbalest

Thank u guys, I'm already solved this problem. The reason is the color of number 234 and 235 of 256 colors mode in my terminal emulator displayed grey. I changed the color of base03 from 234 and base02 from 235 to NONE in the scriptsolarized.vim and changed the background color of my terminal emulator to darkblue. Then, bingo, I got what I want. – Wandy

@Wandy can you tell where you changed the background color of terminal emulator to darkblue ? or try to answer your own question . – Eyeshot

@AmitUpadhyay in that solarized vimscript file, for my environment, is ~/.vim/bundle/vim-colors-solarized/colors/solarized.vim. – Wandy

@jasOns, to add to your solution to still allow the option to toggle between light and dark backgrounds, you can add the following below where base02 and base03 are set.

if &background == "dark"     
  let s:base03 = "NONE"     
  let s:base02 = "NONE"     
endif
